Douluo: Evolution from the Human-Faced Demon Spider

Chapter 21 Beforehand
Time passed quickly while we were waiting, and the rumored Soul Hunting Conference showed no sign of starting anytime soon.

In order to avoid the approaching soul masters, Fang Chang had already returned to his large underground nest in Xingdou.

In the past few days, he thoroughly checked the nest inside and out, and buried traps in several wider passages to prevent humans from attacking from these places.

However, one day passed, two days passed, three days passed, and four days passed...

A whole week has passed since I heard the news from those adventurers, but the Soul Hunting Conference still shows no signs of starting.

Fang Chang once suspected that those human soul masters had deceived him.

Fortunately, some changes have been taking place in the Star Forest in the past few days.

Probably starting from the second day after Fang Chang met those human spirit masters, the number of human spirit masters in this area became noticeably fewer and fewer every day.

Especially at night, the bonfires lit by human soul masters in the past could be seen almost everywhere in this area of ​​the Star Dou Forest, but tonight Fang Chang had walked out for a long way but could not see a single one.

The resulting impact is that the soul beasts in the forest are obviously much more active than usual. Even some powerful soul beasts that are supposed to live deep in the forest will occasionally run to the periphery.

Fang Chang's eyes were fixed on a lone 160-year-old Wind Demon Wolf.

This kind of soul beast usually appears in groups, but this one may have fallen behind for some reason and was wandering alone in the forest, where it happened to meet Fang Chang who was out hunting.

He did not hide anything this time. He directly used the "Soaring Leap" skill and leapt to the opposite side of the Wind Demon Wolf in one step.

When the Wind Demon Wolf saw the sudden appearance of its opponent, it opened its mouth and bared its teeth. A "buzzing" sound came out of its throat and passed through the gaps between its teeth into Fang Chang's ears.

This is a warning signal. In the human world, it means something like "Don't mess with me, I will bite if I get angry."

But Fang Chang ignored him and continued to walk towards the Wind Demon Wolf with a swagger.

The Wind Wolf watched the enemy getting closer and closer, and it subconsciously took a step back, raised its head and made a "howl" sound towards the sky, as if trying to contact its companions nearby.

But this still failed to stop Fang Chang. For every step Fang Chang took, it took two steps back, but the distance between it and Fang Chang was still shrinking.

At a certain moment, the defense line in its heart finally collapsed. It no longer dodged or retreated, but jumped up bravely, wanting to fight to the death with Fang Chang.

But what was waiting for him was a cold spider leg.

A long spider leg fell from the sky like a cone in the night and pierced the wind wolf's head.

The spider leg just stayed still in mid-air, with a wind wolf hanging on it.

The white and red liquid slid down the spider's legs, flowed to the very tip of the legs, and then fell to the ground drop by drop. The scene was quite scary.

But Fang Chang had already gotten used to all this. He was gradually becoming a qualified predator, and he no longer felt as nervous as he did at the beginning when faced with similar situations.

He retracted the spider's legs expressionlessly, placed the wind wolf on the ground again, opened his big mouth, tore off one of its legs, and began to chew it with a crunch.

Without human interference, hunting was easier for him, and he didn't have to worry about attracting nearby human spirit masters due to the noise.

If you think about it this way, it would seem like a good thing if the Spirit Hall could continue to block off the Star Dou Great Forest in this area.

After killing the wind wolf, Fang Chang continued on his way. This time he changed direction and no longer walked further away, but walked towards the area near another entrance of his lair.

He was still on edge about the so-called Soul Hunting Conference. What if those soul masters suddenly rushed in while he was outside without any defense? That would definitely be a fatal thing.

So in the past few days he has strictly controlled his activity area and only hunted near the entrance to the nest.

After a long time, until the clouds in the sky were dyed red by the morning sun, Fang Chang dragged his tired body back to the nest.

He first climbed down the hole at the entrance, and then used his spider legs to move the weeds that had been prepared and piled outside the hole to cover the hole.
After entering the cave, Fang Chang walked along the wall to the passage leading to the central hall of the nest, checked the traps set in the room again, and then walked into the passage with satisfaction.

The hall has also been renovated, with a stone bed and a pair of stone tables and chairs. Although the workmanship is not so fine and they may not be used, they still give him a familiar feeling of home.

Fang Chang lay down against the stone platform in the middle of the hall. His consciousness gradually fell into sleep, and he muttered in his heart, "I hope this damn Soul Hunting Conference will come soon. This life of fear is really hard to endure."

At the same time, outside the Star Dou Great Forest, in the square in front of the Baishui City Wuhun Hall branch.

The beauty in a gorgeous purple dress with her face covered by a veil slowly walked up to the main seat surrounded by the crowd.

There are probably no less than tens of thousands of people gathered on the field now, and they can be roughly divided into several levels.

The innermost layer naturally consisted of the top leaders of the Spirit Hall and some other forces. They sat in a circle below the stage, with the table in front of them filled with delicacies and wine.

At this moment, people stood up from their seats from time to time and saluted from afar to the important person sitting in the main seat.

But she seemed to not care about such things. Occasionally she nodded to a few elders who seemed to be of high status, but most of the time she didn't even look at them.

Outside these people was a group of young people. The oldest among them looked to be around 24 or 25 years old, while the youngest was probably only slightly older than the Shrek Seven Devils.

These people should be the contestants of this Soul Hunting Conference. They all have strong soul power fluctuations, and almost all of them have reached the level of more than three soul rings.

Among these people, there were three who were the most special. They were two men and one woman. They stood in the center of the team and were worshipped by thousands of people.

From the words of the people around them, we can know that these three people are called the golden generation of the Spirit Hall. One of them is now the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and is believed to have the potential to be the next Pope.

Among all the contestants present, they should be the youngest one, but their strength is undoubtedly the strongest one, and they have all reached the realm of four-ring soul master.

According to rumors from outside, this Soul Hunting Conference was held for them.

After all, not everyone is like some guy who becomes a god at the age of 25. At this age, their strength is enough to shock people.

Behind these three people were five contestants sent by the Baishui City Spirit Hall branch. Four of them were old acquaintances of Fang Chang, but the extra hot woman in the middle was someone he had never seen before.

When the atmosphere on the scene reached a certain climax, the big shot sitting in the main seat slowly stood up, and tens of thousands of people in the audience suddenly fell silent.
